New England Patriots star wide receiver Stefon Diggs is currently involved in a poorly timed legal battle with his ex-personal chef.

His former employee filed charges for an alleged physical assault that took place in Dec. 2025.

Diggs denies all allegations and received good news earlier this week when a judge agreed to push back the receiver’s January arraignment date to Feb. 13, five days after the Super Bowl.

However, the latest development could throw a wrench in the Diggs’ case that was progressing smoothly.

Diggs’ high-profile partner, rapper Cardi B, took to X and shared a private conversation she...

“The Patriot Way” became the callsign of the New England Patriots dynasty in the Robert Kraft era. It refers to a rejection of superstar attitudes and embraces putting the team over all other things.

When future Hall of Famers Tom Brady and Bill Belichick moved on, NFL fans hoped that The Patriot Way had gone with them. But head coach Mike Vrabel has his Patriots playing in a way that fans in Foxboro are very familiar with.

The Associated Press released the 2025 All-Pro team Saturday morning before the start of the NFL Wild Card Weekend.

The New England Patriots will have playoff call-ups on hand against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The organization elevated wide receiver Jeremiah Webb and defensive tackle Leonard Taylor III from the practice squad on the eve of Sunday’s wild card at Gillette Stadium.

Webb, 24, agreed to terms with the Patriots as a rookie free agent following the 2025 NFL draft. After being waived at the 53-man roster deadline, the 5-foot-11, 198-pound wideout signed to the practice squad at its formation in August. In between transactions, he caught six passes for 80 yards and his first career touchdown in the preseason,...

Webb, 24, has stuck around after originally entering the league as an undrafted free agent following the...

Welcome to the NFL playoffs. Welcome to our first postseason rooting guide of the year.

The New England Patriots will, of course, enter the tournament on Sunday night. The second seed in the AFC, they will host the seventh-seeded Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium.

The New England Patriots are set to kick off their postseason campaign with a wild-card matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Before this game gets underway, though, the Patriots have found themselves embroiled in a bit of controversy involving the Philadelphia Eagles.

In recent years, when teams find their way into the postseason, they have worked on creating a catchphrase for fans to use as a rally cry of sorts during their playoff run. This was popularized by former head coach Bill Belichick’s “Do your job” motto, which was used frequently during the second half of the team’s dynasty in the...

The Athletic’s 42-member NFL staff recently made their playoff predictions and the results were revealed on Saturday.

Among the slew of questions posed to the media members were “Who will be in the AFC Championship Game, who will win and why?” and “Who will win the Super Bowl and why?”

Despite finishing the regular season tied atop the NFL standings, earning the No. 2 seed in the AFC and boasting MVP candidate Drake Maye and Coach of the Year contender Mike Vrabel, the New England Patriots received no votes for Super Bowl champion.

“Picking a Super Bowl LX champion this...

Maye, 23, started all 17 of the Patriots’ games this season and in his second year as a pro developed into one of its best quarterbacks. Completing 354 of 492 pass attempts, he led the NFL with a completion rate of 72% Maye also threw for 4,394 yards, 31 touchdowns and 8 interceptions.

He also led the league in several other...

Through the years, the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers have become quite familiar as playoff opponents. Sunday’s wild card meeting will be their fifth postseason bout overall, and fourth over the last 19 years. Of course, every season is different, and 2025 is no exception: even though the Patriots and Chargers squared off frequently in the playoffs and as recently as December in 2024 in the regular season, they have experienced substantial change lately.

So, order to find out more about the Patriots’ wild card opponent, we spoke with Michael Peterson of Pats Pulpit’s sister site [Bolts From...

The Washington Commanders hired their new offensive coordinator on Friday.

David Blough.

Blough, 30, is an interesting choice for the job, having spent each of the last two seasons as as an assistant quarterbacks. Blough spent five seasons as a backup quarterback in the NFL, spending time with the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals.

Why do we share this information?

Blough is married to Olympic hurdler Melissa Gonzalez, the older sister of New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez.

No, this doesn’t have any impact on anything. No, you didn’t need to know that fun fact. No,...

As the New England Patriots head into the playoffs, there’s plenty to be optimistic about. However, concerns linger regarding an injury to their standout defensive tackle, Milton Williams.

Williams suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 11 and returned for the first time in New England’s game against the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. Since Williams missed over six weeks of action, there is still a chance he won’t be 100% in the postseason, and CBS Sports’ JP Acosta thinks Williams’ health could be a reason the Patriots don’t win the Super Bowl.

“If there’s anything that has stood out...
